So Google has bundled their Google Chat instant message software with their popular mail client, Gmail, so now you can easily chat with your “buddies” even if you don’t have GTalk up an running. That’s exactly what happened to me this morning when my cousin Nathan IM’d me from Japan:

Did you catch the big announcement buried in my long, boring conversation? Nate’s vlog is going to be a recurring feature on some Australian TV network!
He’s in the States soon and we’re going to try and get together to chat in person about Vlogs, blogs, Japan, Macs and beer. Or maybe we’ll just drink the beer!
sorry we couldn’t hook up when I was home!
IF I can find time, will send the beer!
